Kump Corner
Kump Education Center continues to add apples to the wooden tree in our learning lab to honor beloved schoolteachers. This week we honor a teacher who has been nominated by two donors because his individual tutoring made such a difference in the lives of two students. This amazing teacher and friend of fearful learners is K.J. Shaffer who also serves as the president of the Kump Education Center Board of Directors.
Judy Guye-Swanson who also serves on the KEC Board wrote the following: “I would like to nominate K.J. Shaffer as an Apple for the Teacher tree. He was so kind and empathetic with my grandson in a particularly hard time for my grandson and family a few years ago. He made my grandson feel comfortable … and seemed to bond with him. He is a special person and has a caring and warm heart.”
